DATE: January 22, 2019
FROM: Kara Boyles, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Budget Increase Request – Water Works – Olive GAC Plant Improvements
Which TIF? (circle one) River West; River East; South Side; Douglas Road; West Washington
PURPOSE OF REQUEST: Funding for professional engineering services in the amount of $250,000 for a
total of $1,036,000.
Specifics: The results of the preliminary engineering study recommended approximately
$700,000 in needed improvements to replace the chlorination and fluoride
system. Various code updates will be required due to the corrosive nature of bulk
sodium hypochlorite. In addition, the modified sodium hypochlorite room will include
a 10’ wide by 14’ tall rollup door for future tank replacement.
History: This project involves the rehabilitation of Olive GAC plant. Replacement
of the GAC media is needed for water quality and regulatory compliance. The
project also includes upgrades to chlorination and the fluoride system. The natural
gas heating unit is also to be replaced. This request for funding will help the South
Bend Water Works complete a portion of their 6-Year Partial Capital Improvement
and Replacement Plan. This project was listed as a critical project, and identified
in the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) testimony as projects to be
funded with TIF in 2018.
